Each year I try to swamp the paintings from inside Dracular's House (or Vlad III as he is sometimes known). These paintings are very valuable and very heavy. I have yet to prise one off the wall. Last year I had the help of one player and they still could not be got. Can I please put in a plea for more help from a number of players this year. If it cannot be done with several players, I will give up.

Hopefully I can make it - with all the clock changes the bash is now at 10am Friday morning here! A few weeks back it was 8am which is so much easier _________________"there are things we do not know we don't know." - Someone must have been talking about MUD &nbsp

I did the Leprechaun task. Which mainly involves knowing how to spell Leprechaun.

*You hear sinews tearing, as Laura the spooky necromancer hits the
leprechaun.
You have killed the leprechaun.
You have completed another Task. This makes a total of 2.
(+100 = 32,503).

Your spell works!

main thing is that we won (thanks to some very kind ArchWiz intervention), Laura was right about the decreasing quality of bash reports, all my characters are going to be renamed Kenny (from South Park) and I am going to resign from bashes (just kidding).

btw _ I got Kenny going well a little later (ie 12 hours or so) but guess what - he died to the dragon!

Enjoyed trying on the suits and bobbing for apples - actually got an apple!!!

Looking forward to the fireworks on the 5th!

Posted: 02-11-2014 08:24 &nbspBtw Royston..... I believe that dracula's mansion is just a quest that a wiz coul lo
ad at any time - it doesn't have to be Halloween. Why not talk nicely to a wiz and maybe organize a quest night to try to get that painting?
